Review on 🛼 Ultimate Maneuverability: Powerdyne Jupiter Toe Stops - Natural Rubber Roller Skate Toe Stoppers (Pair) by Kari Barley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My new best friends!

I've always loved ATVs, but I was in desperate need of a new pair of skates. Trying to buy new quads during Covid has been far from pleasant as everyone seems to have discovered roller skating during the pandemic. Eventually I found a pair of Chaya Melrose skates but immediately found that the fixed stop was set so high that it could not be stopped without bending the leg and there was no way to adjust it. I decided to invest in a pair of skates with an adjustable cork. Oddly enough, it's difficult to find dedicated outdoor skates without a fixed stopper. There are Moxi Lollis, but apart from not being able to find them at the moment, they have the infamous skinny boot. I have wide feet (D) and really didn't like the idea of breaking in my skateboard shoes. For fun I decided to try low boot inline skates as I already have my own outdoor wheels. I bought a pair of Bont QuadStars but knew I would need an outdoor stopper along with outdoor wheels. I LOVE this stopper! My driveway has such a steep slope that it feels like descending a ramp to get onto the street, but with a brick ledge at the end. Because of this, I have to put on my skates while sitting on the curb, making it difficult for me to get up without rolling and falling in the most inelegant way. This awesome stopper allows me to easily step off the curb onto the stopper without worrying about it falling off. It also requires significantly less effort to stop than any other stopper I've used before.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
